Isn't it curious that the average progressive female just happens to be hideous enough to keep her from spending her time on more amorous pursuits?
IOW, if they weren't so damned fugly they'd be getting la*d instead of getting in everyone’s business!
Well, I say if anything happens to Governor Scott Walker that this reporter and TIME Magazine be held accountable ...isnt’ that how the game is played?
This is really sick
The liberal media pushes Christie and Daniels and they try to destroy Walker.
Notice the difference.
I'd hit it until her eyes crossed and she drooled, unconscious, in a puddle of her own sick.
Meanwhile, Obama was once again using the Giffords shooting to call for gun control.
Better yet, where “IS” the Potus?
This clown vanishes when the chips are down and the going gets tough.

That should be the WI battle cry against the democrat, liberal socialist, Union thugs who want to “kill” their Governor!
Kind of like “remember the Alamo!”
Bitch slap the Union thugs right in their faces!
This hate, violence, incivility, ‘targeting,’ death imagery MUST stop! If something happens to Walker, there’s blood on Newsweek’s hands!
Oh, he’s a conservative Republican? Go to it! Kill! Kill!
I’m sure they will say, “Oh, we just meant we were going to kill him in a political sense. Not REALLY kill him.”
Last time I saw him, he was out on the golf course. I think he was looking for the people who killed OJ's wife.
We need people in office who truly want to serve the people. Most of them we have now, but not all of them, just want the job and the perks and those perks make a lot of them wealthy. Some enter office with pure hearts but soon learn "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than .... ".
Those are the ones Sarah Palin labeled career politicians. Because they are more interested in the job than in the responsibility of the job, they are afraid of the media. As you know, the media are part of the Left and will always support the Democrats and misrepresent conservatives and Republicans. They are the primary reason we have Obama. They spent eight years lying about and vilifying Bush so that anyone would have been preferable to a Republican. They then whitewashed Obama and we have what we have.
That does not go unnoticed and those more interested in the job than the people.
Fortunately, despite the one sided reporting and the phony polls, most Americans are still conservative. What most of us want is people who will just tell us the truth. That is anathema to most politicians but we are beginning to see some who will do that. If we can get some who will take a strong conservative stand and not be bullied by political correctness they can win. As I said, we are starting to see that. Let's just hope they don't get seduced by political consultants who urge them to water down their positions and "move to the center" in order to "get elected." Those are the ones we don't want.
Oops. I mean Time. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.
where's muh clubs?
Never for a moment should one consider the possibility that the light has been seen, never.
The only purpose for anything that comes out of their mouths is to slam political opponents, and help dems, cheat steal, lie, whatever it takes.
bttt
These leftists thugs are finally starting to wear out their welcome.

Why Can’t We Be Friends? ‘Civility Please’ Initiative Urges Decency in Daily Life
By: Nick Carbone
In this era of political vitriol and pop culture faux pas, a new campaign begs us to coexist rationally.
Following the shootings in Tucson, pundits and politicians urged a change in the national discussion. “The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous,” Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik noted to the country on live television. It was a bold statement, but certainly not a far-fetched one. And it comes down to the little things. We may fire off an angry email without thinking twice or shoot down a coworker’s idea with a nasty comment. But this just results in bruised egos and hurt feelings. But now, a new campaign is urging: “Civility, Please!”
(More on TIME.com: See Tom Brokaw’s thoughts on our uncivil society.)
“We’re hoping the decent people will tell the jerks to stop it,” campaign director Patrick Adams tells NewsFeed. Adams hatched the plan with his ad agency, Secret Weapon Marketing – a campaign that was in the works long before the events in Arizona. “I think it’s easy to link it to big ideas like Tucson, but it runs the spectrum,” he says, right down to our everyday lives. The little changes can add up to a big difference, the initiative’s creators hope.
It’s about thinking before we speak or act, and not being so quick to fire back a retort. “It’s not about trying to get everybody to agree on something – but we at least want them to be civil in their discussion about what they disagree on,” Adams says.
(More on TIME.com: See the Dalai Lama’s thoughts on peace.)
But can Civility Please truly inspire us to tone down the trash talk? Sometimes it just feels so good to let off some steam. It’s a simple message that might be hard to wrap your head around. But it’s worth a thought – an effort – in our daily lives. The campaign even asks nicely: please?
And NewsFeed will leave you with some inspirational words of our own, courtesy of Bill and Ted: “Be excellent to each other.”
